Burning Question: Where Have You Gone, Sam Lutfi?

Whenever Britney Spears was photographed or something happened with her, Sam Lutfi was there. That was the pattern for a good couple of months.

Recently, he sat next to Spears on her 26th birthday on December 2. He went shopping with her at Target on November 28 and the two days before that.

Britney Spears and Sam Lutfi seemed inseparable â€" until last week, that is, when certain celebrity gossip publications exposed details of his past.

Sam Lutfi hasn't been seen with Britney Spears since December 3.

The man who orchestrated Spears' birthday party, denied the recent J.R. Rotem pregnancy rumors, and spoke on her behalf after she lost custody of Jayden and Sean is off the map â€" perhaps a result of magazines' outing of his seedy past?

After all, Osama Lutfi (really, that's his name) has a questionable career at best, and has had two restraining orders against him for violent verbal and physical attacks. He has also used multiple aliases in recent years.

Have we seen the last of Osama, and where did he go? We don't have any kind of evidence for this theory, but a hunch tells us Chuck Norris may have taken him out.

I miss it here so much! I love it so much! It makes me it's kinda like bittersweet coming here because I used to live here for two years. And when I come here, it's like, man, I wish I had my apartment here still.
